Re: Well not shocking
Depends on how you look at that. Fiber is a very long term investment that requires a lot less maintenance and is cheaper in the long term.
If copper was seen as profitable 100 years ago, fiber can be seen as profitable now.
Keep in mind the telco's have received well over $200 billion dollars in incentives since 1996 to build this fiber network to everyone that THEY promised would bring 45Mbps symmetrical to everyone for around $40-$50 a month. To this date the only one really doing that is Verizon (though they arent near the price point) and I don't even think they have burned through the money they stole from the PA tax payers yet. |
